If you've wondered what they do with all of the thousands of pounds of cheese that's floating around during the American Cheese Society Conference - well, here's your answer. The American Cheese Society will hold its annual Public Cheese Sale this Sunday from 11am-2pm at the Palace Ballroom in Seattle.

This is a killer sale and a fabulous opportunity to purchase cheese from small producers that you will never see again in the Northwest. For cheap - $5/piece - and that is a total steal for rare gems from all parts of the country that are normally $20-30/lb. I'm serious, this is like the cheese flea market of your dreams, the "Running of the Brides" of the cheese industry. All I can say is - get there early and come with $$. Cash is preferred.
